Was curious if not being able to use hotspot was an known issue with this version? Besides that I love everything about the rom because the battery life seems to do better for me than 14.1. Also I can live without camera use. heh

After testing the last lineageOS-version I wanted to go back to stock-nougat to have a working camera for vacations. However there was a problem with flashing the gpt.bin and bootloader.img. I got a “moto boot prevalidation flash (FAILED) remote failure” as a result. After researching the error on google I read about other people having this problem, but that it is possible to continue without flashing the bootloader. Indeed, the ROM booted succesfully and everything seemed to normal. After a while I noticed that the simcard wouldn’t be recongnized even after several reboots. It turned out that my phone had forgotten it’s IMEI and BASEBAND-numbers (Bootloader: “BASEBAND:<unknown>”, Settings: “IMEI: unknown”) I tried to reflash any of my TWRP-backups and reflashed both the stock- and LOS-ROMs but the SIM would not work again. I’ve read some guides on “how to restore IMEI/Baseband” but they all say “try flashing the stock ROM”. Is there any way of reflashing my current bootloader (version Ax0.52) to flash a full stock ROM or any other way to recover IMEI/Baseband-version?

After flashing the ROM and GApps using TWRP, I reboot and all that comes up is a blue line with a blue circle going right to left repeatedly. It doesn’t progress further than this, even after multiple reflashes and using different versions of GApps, e.g. stock, full, super, micro. Any ideas why it shows this and how I could successfully boot? Using a 1572 version.
